This case study explores the challenges and opportunities associated with deploying city-centre heat networks in the UK, particularly focusing on Glasgow. The goal is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030, and the study delves into the methodology used to assess the feasibility of large-scale urban District Heating (DH) projects.
In this white paper, we present and focus on the Heat Vision 2030 methodology. We demonstrate the visual and numeric scenarios that have been developed and delve into the future implications and opportunities surrounding the deployment of heat networks. From invaluable learnings to innovative business modelling and policy considerations, we explore all aspects necessary for a successful acceleration towards a sustainable future.
The study concludes that while challenges exist, sustainable District Heating Networks are paramount in achieving carbon neutrality. To ensure successful deployment, state-of-the-art tools, government support, and strategic decision-making by stakeholders are imperative.
